Rock Creek Trail #42 - Mazatzals
Partners none no partners
Originally wanted to do the Half Moon/Rock Creek/Sandy Saddle loop, and maybe see some falls. Snow looked fun, figured it would be slow going up high.

Half Moon trail went alright, there was snow on all the north facing slopes at that elevation. Enjoyed it more than expected. Once we started ascending on Rock Creek, the snow got deep really fast. Climbed about 1,000 feet and it was already knee deep, and still had 2,000 feet to climb. Decided it would be silly to proceed further, and turned around.

I feel like every year I have to attempt something dumb in the snow in order to get it out of my system. Never seen the Mazzies look so awesome though.
